The New York Mets have officially re-signed Jesse Winker to a new contract, securing the slugger for the upcoming seasons. Winker, who joined the Mets midseason in 2024 via a trade from the Washington Nationals, made an immediate impact with his intensity and clutch postseason performances.
The deal comes after a strong showing in 2024, where Winker rebounded from earlier struggles in his career. While his regular-season stats with the Mets were modest (.243/.318/.365 in 129 plate appearances), his playoff contributions, including a home run and key at-bats, highlighted his potential. Known for his left-handed power and on-base ability, Winker is expected to take on a platoon role at designated hitter, facing primarily right-handed pitchers.
With this signing, the Mets continue to bolster their roster with players who bring both skill and energy, positioning themselves for another competitive season in 2025
